On March 26, GCL Silicon participated in the Jiangsu Province Renewable Energy Industry Conference which was hosted by Mr. Heping Shi, Vice Governor of Jiangsu Province.  Other participants included the Governor of Jiangsu Province, other vice governors of Jiangsu Province, vice mayors and mayors of all the cities in the province and other representatives from different government bodies. Representatives from twelve companies involved in the renewable energy industry were also invited to participate in the conference including representatives from GCL Silicon, Suntech and Trina.

During the conference, the provincial government issued twelve stimulus policies to support the development of the renewable energy industry within the Jiangsu Province.  Jiangsu Province has always focused on the development of the renewable energy sector and has formed a three year development plan (2009 to 2011) for solar power, wind power and related technologies.  The plan specified three cities (Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Lianyungang) as the three locations for polysilicon production.  By 2011, Jiangsu Province should have acquired total polysilicon production capacity of 30,000 MT.  The provincial government also plans to provide financial support in order to build out 260MW of solar power generating capabilities by 2011.
